You should be able to get a wheel like that for almost nothing.

Check out a scrap metal yard, or even your LBS.

Unscrew the freewheel, clean ALL the oil or grease of the threads on
the hub, apply some Loctite, then screw a fixed gear on.

This is certainly not the PERFECT way to do it but it will enable you
to experience the joy of a fixie.

Then you can buy a good quality wheel, as
Qui si parla Campagnolo suggested.

Lewis.
